Thanks Keith. I've shot near the marina, and at the estuaries in Long Beach and Malibu as well. Plenty of good bird shooting locations in California. In truth, my the bit of Michigan wetlands where I shot the egret is unremarkable. It's part of the Rouge River watershed, but it's just a brief stretch of undeveloped property between some office buildings and the eight lanes of Woodward Avenue. But I've nailed a number of egrets there and a blue crane as well. It's situated between a number of large lakes, and seems to be a stopover spot for water fowl. It does appear to be abundant with life. When I stopped to see the egret I saw a big carp digging in the bottom of water that wasn't even deep enough to cover his back.
